Dear officer, I'm begging you please,
Get your knee off my neck, I told you I can't breathe.
This is f*cked up, that's why we scream "No Justice, No Peace,"
That's why we pump our f*cking fist and say "F*ck The Police."
Man, I bleed for my people, all the brown and the black,
And you sit there and laugh, and try to put us on our backs.
You're a pig, you're a snake, you ain't ain't shit without your badge,
And I say this for every single person who's been harassed.
F*ck you til I'm dead, then I'll see you in hell,
This is for all the innocent people you tossed in that jail.
You treat me like an animal, trapped in a cell,
And why the f*ck they got their phones out, somebody come help.
Push this muthaf*cker off, I can't breathe and it hurts,
Oh you think it's funny huh, wipe that muthaf*ckin' smirk...
Off your face, and all I taste, is this concrete full of dirt,
I ain't a killa but if I could, you'd be riding in a hearse.
They say you protect and serve, I say that you shoot and kill,
So I can bet my life that I'ma probably die right here.
You got my people shook, going to sleep at night scared,
And the American dream just became a nightmare.
I can't breathe, I need air, I see the sky turning dark,
You have a badge and a gun, but you have you have no heart.
And if I die then it's on, you gonna let the riot start,
And the black and brown are gonna tear your ass apart.
And f*ck the president too, on Twitter making them threats,
And that's the muthaf*cker that this country wants us to respect.
Man, I'm running out of breath, get your foot off of my neck,
And I bet you're gonna tell them that I tried to resist arrest.
This is for Rodney King, Sean Bell, and Oscar Grant,
This is for Mike Brown, and those who never had a chance.
This is for Trayvon, and Aumad Arbery,
And every other innocent man we've had to bury.
This country is a cemetery, and they're killing our rights,
They used to just take your freedom, now they're taking your life.
It's a blood sacrifice, bring that darkness to light,
And you can kill me but I ain't going out without a fight.
Man, I'm losing my sight, and I ain't feeling too good,
And I swear I would do a little more if I could.
Peace to all the raza, and everybody in the hood,
Please don't let me be misunderstood.
